Mannerism always wants to be ...

Mannerism always wants to be finished and doesn't enjoy the process. Genuine, truly great talent, however, finds its greatest satisfaction in the production.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Who longs in solitude to live...

Who longs in solitude to live, Ah! soon his wish will gain: Men hope and love, men get and give, and leave him to his pain.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

There is nothing new on earth...

There is nothing new on earth / For a person who lives long and experiences much. / In my years of youthful wandering / I have seen crystallized people.

Few are open to conviction, but the majority of men are open to persuasion

How to please the public - that's the test, But nowadays I find I'm in a fix; I know they're not accustomed to the best, But they've all read so much they know the tricks. How can we give then something fresh and new That's serious, but entertaining too?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Faith is like private capital...

Faith is like private capital, stored in one's own house. It is like a public savings bank or loan office, from which individuals receive assistance in their days of need; but here the creditor quietly takes his interest for himself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The mob has nothing to lose, ...

The mob has nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Some people spend the day in ...

Some people spend the day in complaining of a headache, and the night in drinking the wine that gives it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

People always fancy that we must become old to become wise; but, in truth, as years advance, it is hard to keep ourselves as wise as we were.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If you miss the first buttonhole, you will not succeed in buttoning up your coat.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We gladly put antiquity above...

We gladly put antiquity above our age but not posterity. Only a father doesn't begrudge his son's talent.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The deepest, the only theme o...

The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of skepticism with faith.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

There is no outward sign of true courtesy that does not rest on a deep moral foundation.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

This is the true measure of love, When we believe that we alone can love, That no one could ever have loved so before us, And that no one will ever love in the same way after us.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image. [Ger., Das Betragen ist ein Spiegel in welchem jeder sein Bild zeigt.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I must consider more closely ...

I must consider more closely this cycle of good and bad days which I find coursing within myself. Passion, attachment, the urge to action, inventiveness, performance, order all alternate and keep their orbit; cheerfulness, vigor, energy, flexibility and fatigue, serenity as well as desire. Nothing disturbs the cycle for I lead a simple life, but I must still find the time and order in which I rotate.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

People have a peculiar pleasure in making converts, that is, in causing others to enjoy what they enjoy, thus finding their own likeness represented and reflected back to them.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

What do people mean when they...

What do people mean when they talk about unhappiness? It is not so much unhappiness as impatience that from time to time possesses men, and then they choose to call themselves miserable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We cannot too soon convince o...

We cannot too soon convince ourselves how easily we may be dispensed with in the world. What important personages we imagine ourselves to be! We think that we alone are the life of the circle in which we move; in our absence, we fancy that life, existence, breath will come to a general pause, and, alas, the gap which we leave is scarcely perceptible, so quickly is it filled again; nay, it is often the place, if not of something better, at least for something more agreeable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

There are but few who have ideas and are, at the same time, capable of action. Ideas enlarge but stymie, action enlivens but confines.
